The aim of this book is to discuss the emergent forms of educational processes observed in the context of late modernity, mobilizing the contribution of the social sciences. Through a plurality of educational subjects, this publication provides an overview of the contribution of schooling to the construction of late modernity.
This book deals with the evolution of initiatives connected to the social and solidarity economy and their political cultures and educational implications in the south of Europe and in Latin America. Employing a comparative perspective, the contributors present 11 studies of these trajectories in Argentina, Chile, Portugal, France, Italy, Spain, and Catalonia in order to engender familiarity with social tributary practices and projects in the Latin world. As the cyclical crises of capitalism and their resulting inequalities have created proposals of reform and brought them into action, certain shared ideological influences and policies have emerged across these societies. Faced with the interpretative schemes used for the Anglo-Saxon sphere, which have been the usual reference in international research, this volume’s geographical and cultural matrix of analysis helps fill a longstanding gap in this field. The book will be of interest to scholars, educators, and students specialising in the history and political science of the social and solidarity economy sectors, as well as professionals involved in cooperatives, mutual aid societies, and associations.
Originally published in 1998 Sexual Behaviour and HIV/AIDS in Europe is detailed study comparing the major population surveys on sexual behaviour and HIV/AIDS carried out in Europe at the time of publication. Leading European researchers explore the differences and similarities between European countries in patterns of sexual behaviour and responses to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. As well as providing an empirical and methodological base for future research, the comparative analyses lead researchers, policy makers, health-educators and the media to new insights and a deeper understanding of issues that are of central concern in many countries. The chapters include discussion of data on sexual init...
At EC level the fight against AIDS, one of the major health problems and socioeconomic diseases today, is also part of the specific RTD programme in the field of biomedicine and health. About 600 research teams are collaborating within 30 concerted actions networks that are underpinned by centralised facilities. For example, the epidemiology research networks are monitored by the WHO/EC collaborating centre in St. Maurice, France.

Ensemble de contributions sur la transmission, qui est une forme d'échange, dans une nécessaire relation, de soi à l'autre. Elle permet de poser la question de la définition et de la construction des identités individuelles, familiales et sociales. Les formes et les contenus de la passation changent mais s'inscrivent toujours au cœur des dispositifs sociaux et des dynamiques sociales.--[Memento].
Ce livre décrit la manière dont les intellectuel·les catholiques belges ont participé aux grands bouleversements de la vie culturelle et scientifique de ces dernières décennies tels que le nouveau roman, la nouvelle vague, l'avènement des expertes en sciences humaines, le marxisme, l'écologie, le féminisme ou encore la psychanalyse. Leur engagement s'est caractérisé par une solide capacité d'adaptation. De la sorte, ils et elles sont parvenu·es à se repositionner pour affronter la vague de déchristianisation de la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle et faire entendre leur voix. Ces hommes et ces femmes ont forgé un nouveau langage pour dire une foi réinventée, plus personnelle...
Este livro resulta de uma ampla pesquisa acerca do universo no qual as crianças e os adolescentes socialmente marginalizados estiveram inscritos durante a Primeira República. O título alude à visão dos contemporâneos de que a infância pobre, se assistida e instruída, poderia ser "moldada para o bem". Ou seja, essas crianças, quando educadas e inscritas no mercado de trabalho, representavam o "futuro da nação". Nesse sentido, caberia a elas a agenda da assistência e representações positivas. Em contrapartida, quando abandonadas e jogadas à própria sorte, eram concebidas como futuros delinquentes, constituindo-se em ameaças para a sociedade e em obstáculos para o "progresso d...
